While I picked, the Painted Bunting was serenading for his love. 😉 The dreams of animals Moths in slow motion Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you…
Kathy was the one to get the star yesterday for catching my title mistake. The email notification had the mistake. However, I caught it as soon as I hit the publish button. In the same way, like slamming your hand in the door. You see it coming but the signal to the brain can’t stop…
Every year I look forward to early summer. Why? It is all about the blackberries! Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.

A captive bird named Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914. She was 29 years old. Billions of the Passenger Pigeons…
Indeed, what a wonderful soggy day! We ended up with a mere 1.85″ at our place! Of course, that was great! However, Jeanne’s Fossil Hill got a whopping 4″! Whatever amount you got (and I hope you got some) was much needed, eh! Paleontologists Find Biggest Pterosaur Species Ever Unearthed in South America This Device…
No complaints from me on the weather today! In anticipation of the rain this week, now would be the time to empty your rain gauge if you haven’t already 🙂 Everyday Plastic Products – Such As Coffee Cups – Release Trillions of Microscopic Particles Into Water Keep looking!
